Re: Sharing profiles with overseas service bureaus

Also from my first post, they will do the work on a large batch of
images
before I even get to see them.

The images will be used for printing overseas, then the files are re-
purposed
for other collateral that will be printed stateside, where U.S. SWOP
is more commonly used.

My concern is having to re-color correct these files. Perhaps the
solution is for
them process the files with U.S, SWOP, then only *Assign their custom
profile
to make their color adjustments, and send us the files in this format.
I can then
either approve the images or make corrections, and then they can make
the
*Conversion before they output film. I will also have files that still
have the
SWOP profile.

If my thinking is wrong, or I'm close but not quite, please enlighten
me.
I thought thats what these newsgroups were for. ;-)

That is indeed what they are for. You are making life much more
complicated than it is. If you color correct the image *while doing a
soft proof with their profile* you are looking at a simulation of how
the image will look *after they have converted it to their profile*.
Just send them the corrected image, don't convert it yourself. After
they have converted it, it will just look the way you intended.
